NoOp wrote What I need is a way of getting LO and/or OO to print the labels correctly on the page. I admit that having to use a PDF printer (CutePDF or Bullzip) complicates the issue. But it seems odd to me that I get different results between LO and OO, and between virtual printers.

Thanks again NoOp. But I think we're at cross-purposes here. I don't need the paper labels - they're easily and cheaply available here in England. What I need is a way of getting LO and/or OO to print the labels correctly on the page. I admit that having to use a PDF printer (CutePDF or Bullzip)

There will not be any missing labels as long as your template has as many pages as you will be printing. If you are printing 3 pages of labels, your template needs three pages with the fields in when you pull the data from the database. Don On 12/16/2012 07:52 AM, ptoye wrote: Thanks again

Thanks No-op and Don for the advice. I wasn't 100% plain in stating the problem. All too easy when you know what you're talking about! Firstly, being English I need A4-size rather than 8 by 11 inch page size, and as far as I can see World Label only do US sizes (so why do they call themselves

Hi ptoye, I would suggest that you contact World Label (e-mail or call) and see if they can help you out. If they don't have A-4, maybe there is a similar size which will do the job for you. Here in the US we have American bolts and on imported products we have metric bolts. Many of the

Hi ptoye, About 4 or 5 years ago when doing labels for our Christmas cards, I ran across the table style forms mentioned by NoOp below. I will never go back to the standard frame type forms standard in OO and LO. I've had absolutely no alignment problems. I'll also paste here some assistance

My experience with World Label is also excellent. They are big supporters of open source software, including Linux, LO, and OO. They furnished me with a rather unusual label size I needed. A friend was printing labels on that size in MS word. Two thirds down the page the bottom of one label
